OK, I don't really know how the transmitted data from the ircd is interpreted.
But lets try to understand.
The ircd sends some data that tells the client "hey, here comes a mode change".
Now, does it directly say it is a channel mode change?
Or is this different with all ircd?
When it says "changing channel modes" then how is this mode transmitted?
When I make a /mode #channel I can see the recognized modes in plain text
and the others as simple letters.
Hmm, ok. While discussing that I understand why it is not possible to make
a menu with all the letters to toggle modes.
Although it would be nice to have them listed completely in a field
(like the topic field e.g.), just for convenience.
